With phones, like with other things, a bit of protective covering goes a long way.

Five… four… three…

She probably agreed because that is at least a seamless way of “acknowledging” some totally incomprehensible bullshit that a stranger just told her.

Not that I see how the sertraline dosage even came up, to be fair.

Serious question? The principle is called “opportunity cost”. Chilling out and touching grass is free - but you could also have spent that time working, producing stuff, learning or whatever. You have “lost out” on a potential benefit due to exactly how that time was spent.

The pro Russia part does.

Roger Waters put a damper on my enjoyment of Pink Floyd.

So they’re ripping off the game that ripped them off. The industry is in an absolute state.

Wow, imagine calling out a fucker like that, how dare you.

There are some beautiful argument chains.

Doubt.

GOG if available, no DRM and while I think they do have a launcher, I don’t think it’s required. I could be wrong…

Steam does tend to be annoying about logging in and out, not necessarily letting you choose to update stuff, it has DRM and requires internet (or will at least be annoying about it).

GOG is more like, gosh, downloading some software and then running it. Without it doing 11 kinds of random shit on you.

Yeah, well, no fucking shit, what’d they think was the point of the campaign?

These guys…

Hated every kind, had some actually great ones in Greece, now I can sorta kinda get behind black olives. Greens are still a bit too bitter for my preference.

“site” does work still, I think, just plus a lot of irrelevant drivel - standard Google fare, you see it on Youtube too.

I’d consider the most basic case to be, specifically, the “quotes for verbatim results”, which definitely do not work anymore. Neither does + for a positively (hue hue) required term, a close second.

To be fair, back in the day you could get better results by relying on Google with site:foobar and the Boolean/“power user” stuff. A lot of built-in search boxes on sites were a bit dodgy, or at least less flexible than AND/OR/NOT and other “power user tricks”.

Of course, these days those seem to be ignored wholesale and even “verbatim quotes” are an utter crapshoot, this was back when Google didn’t fucking blow.

Fite me irl

Roasted/broiled/pan fried sprouts are amazing, though.

What should be crossed out is the rutabaga.

Yeah, OK, that’s not bloody terrifying or anything.

N64 is my favorite console of all time, but yeah, the controller is truly batshit insane. I even had a game that intended you to hold the left and right… prongs instead of center right. In a shocking twist, it was… still pretty awkward.

I do like PS5 controllers - mostly play N64 games on them, never even owned a PS. Used a PS4 controller before that.

Nah. The pattern is cool as hell though.

Disproving them can work

No

So don’t?
